Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method". However, innovation is often also viewed [by whom?] as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs. Such innovation takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are made available to markets, governments and society. The term "innovation" can be defined [by whom?] as something original and more effective and, as a consequence, new, that "breaks into" the market or society. Innovations tend to be produced by outsiders and founders in start-ups, rather than existing organizations.
Want your views.
The proposed idea is ideal. Should be initiated and promulgated for optimal adoption.

We need to learn how to think productively in an academic environment?
I think you nailed it! congratulations!
In the last few weeks I have been pondering the idea of slowing down a hurricane. It looks like an impossible task, but the physics is quite simple. The mechanics are a challenge, but this is what an "innovation university" could do.
One of my students has already proposed a method to slow down a tsunami, but has met only "jokers" from engineering universities so far, who ridicule him instead of going through his calculations and plans.
Dear Prof Michael
The conecpt of "University of innovatition" (UoI) is appreciable. The innovative ideas like tapping a tsunami, controlling hurricane, rebouncing meteorite, storing earthquake energy, utilizing human anger energy & thrilling sounds of wild animals etc will be ataleast listened with care, respect and a knowledged, accordingly, at UoI.
Nevertheless, the innovative ideas of a century ago were dicouraged badly, but we know how wonderful those are in this modern era of technology.

Dear Prof Michael/Khan , the proposed UoI graduates will be called Knowledgepreneur .
Concept note for UoI:
Knowledgepreneur is the possession of knowledge and applied experience of foresight technology for the creation of value and sustainable profits. It is the synthesis of ideas, capital and talents for the development and sustainability of 21st century economy (knowledge economy), which is the core foresight technology. It entails a huge investment flows into human capital as well as information technology. Knowledge is the integral function of intellectual capital and primarily a navigational tool of the future. Intellectual capital is the possession of the knowledge, applied experience, organisational technology, customer relationships and professional skills that provide products and services, with a competitive edge in the market to create the knowledge economy. The new source of wealth is not material; it is information, knowledge applied to work to create value. Foresight technology is the ability to make informed projections with the competitive advantages of the knowledgepreneur (entrepreneur derivative for platform thinking).
The rise of intellectual capital is inevitable, given the irresistible historical and technological forces, not to mention the investment flows, that are sweeping across the modern world and driving us toward a knowledge economy. Knowledgepreneur will come to dominate the way we value our institutions because it alone captures the dynamics of organisational sustainability and value creation. It alone recognises that a modern enterprises changes so fast that all it has left to depend on, is the talents and dedication of its people and the quality of the tools they use to deliver value streams.
Ø Mission
The capture creativity and innovation as knowledge resources, research applied use of intellectual capital for wealth creation.
Ø Vision
Develop innovation systems with existing universities/institutes in Africa to create knowledge economy.
Knowledgpreneur science: Re-engineering Globalization
Knowledgpreneur science re-engineers globalization for sustainability and use sustainability science as tool for convergence for collaboration for knowledge local adaption and development. Sustainability science must consider the interplay and dynamic evolution of social, economic and natural systems. It requires an integrated and long term perspective. It addresses the sustainability process as tentative, open and iterative, involving, private sector, scientific, policy and public participation. It captures the possibility of structural discontinuity and support socio-ecological systems. It recognize the critical importance of alternative, and sometimes competing, beliefs, institutional contexts and social structures.
'Degree' in any field is forerunner to 'Social Justice' & 'Economic Justice' always reinforced 'Innovation' in 'Society'
'Innovation' means updates with 'Scientific' observations
A degree in most countries is above the bachelor level is based on:
1. Completion of coursework, and
2. Defense of a thesis,
3. Completion of a thesis
The question is: How will the courses and practicums on innovation be developed to justify the awarding of a degree?
